What color is Benjamin Moore Smoke Embers?
Benjamin Moore Smoke Embers 1466 is a pale, muted gray with a subtle warm beige cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, lightly weathered appearance rather than a crisp, stark gray finish. In bright daylight, Smoke Embers can look like a gentle off-gray, while lower or warmer lighting draws out its faint taupe undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a quiet neutral backdrop is needed. Pair it with creamy whites, natural oak, linen upholstery, charcoal details, or aged brass for a grounded, layered interior.

What are Benjamin Moore Smoke Embers undertones?
Smoke Embers reads as a mid-light, low-saturation gray that sits close to neutral, with a faint yellow-leaning cast in the supplied digital sample rather than a clearly defined undertone. Benjamin Moore describes it as falling slightly cooler than traditional warm grays, which fits its overall gray character without making it look strongly blue or icy. In warm artificial light, its subtle warmth may be easier to notice, while cool daylight may make the gray appear a bit cleaner and less warm.

LRV of Smoke Embers
Smoke Embers has an LRV of 52.1% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 52.1%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
